• John Adams (Federalist) signs appointments on his last night in office.
• Thomas Jefferson (Democratic –Republican) is to take over as President.

When does Madison come into play?
• James Madison, TJs new Secretary of State, was supposed to officially present Marbury with his new position…
• But he didn’t!• So… Marbury sued and appealed to the
Supreme Court to get Madison to award him the position…

The Verdict.
• Supreme Court refuses to grant Marbury his position!!
• Why?• A section of the Judiciary Act of 1789
(which set up the federal court system in the first place) was unconstitutional and void.

Lasting Impact…
• This is the first time the Supreme Court overturns an act of Congress.
• Checks & balances in action!• Judicial Review- Power of the Supreme
Court to decide whether laws or acts passed by Congress are unconstitutional.
